Potato Rosti


Home made potato Rosti is just as good as at any Restaurant like Marche in Singapore. However, we can regulate the amount of oil/butter used and flavour it as per our taste buds. Now you can eat your potato and enjoy it too!

Basic Recipe:

Ingredients:

Potatoes- 2 large ( washed, peeled and grated)
Salt and pepper to taste
Butter- 2 tsp

Rosti Ready To Be Eaten!


Method :
Step 1:  Grate the potatoes.
Step 2 : Add salt and pepper to the potatoes. Mix well.


Grated Potato and Sweet Potato
       
Into the Pan 


Step 3:  In a small shallow pan, add 1 tsp butter. Coat the pan with the butter. Now add the grated potatoes. Pack the potatoes to form a cake. Cook on low flame.
Step 4: When the bottom is golden brown or slightly darker, add some butter to the top and flip the Rosti over. To do this use a flat spoon and lift the entire Rosti. Quickly toss it over. It doesn't matter if it breaks- just bring all the potato together and pack it tightly again.
Step 5: Once both sides are cooked and so is the potatoes I between,  slide the Rosti onto a plate.
Step 6: Serve hot with tomato sauce or mustard. You can also serve this with a fried egg on top.



Optional Additions :
Step 1: Instead of only normal potatoes, take 1 normal potato and 1 sweet potato. This flavour is slightly different but just as good.
Step 2: Add chopped spring onions for additional flavour
Step 3: The more butter/ oil you add, the more crispy and tasty the Rosti wil be. However, I like it with just 2 tsp butter.

Nutrition:

This is a very simple and tasty dish especially for those who love potatoes. I will definitely try it as a tea time snack. Less oil is an added motivation for me to include this in my regular snack time menus. Chitra.
